What is VillageSQL Server?

VillageSQL is the innovation platform for MySQL and a new path for MySQL in the agentic AI era. VillageSQL Server for MySQL is an open-source, drop-in replacement, and extensible tracking fork of MySQL. It introduces a robust extension framework that supports custom data types and custom functions (with custom indexes coming soon). VillageSQL’s mission is to empower the MySQL community by enabling permissionless innovation.

Extensions for MySQL

VillageSQL is a drop-in replacement for MySQL but adds on the ability to load extensions that modify the server’s behavior. Extensions support:
  • Custom Data Types: Extensions can define new types (e.g., UUID, COMPLEX, INET6) that behave like native types.
  • Custom Functions: Add high-performance C++ functions callable from SQL.
  • Seamless Integration: Extensions are managed via simple SQL commands (INSTALL EXTENSION, UNINSTALL EXTENSION).

​
Built-in Extensions

VillageSQL Server 0.0.2 includes two built-in extensions when building from source:
  • vsql_complex: adds support for complex number data type
  • vsql_simple: demonstrates building custom types and functions
Additional extensions are available in separate repositories:
  • vsql_uuid: UUID generation, validation, conversion, and comparison
  • vsql_ai: AI prompting via SQL functions
  • vsql_crypto: Cryptographic functions (hashing, encryption, random data generation)
  • vsql_network_address: IPv4, IPv6, and MAC address types
